Brent Simmons blogs Leopard UI predictions

Brent Simmons, developer of the most popular RSS reader on earth, has published some pre-WWDC predictions as to where he sees Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard's UI will evolve. He throws down the gauntlet on brushed metal, delves into customizable toolbars and even touches on what might happen to 'bubbly popup menus'.

If you are at all interested in UI design, this is definitely a good read from a most prevalent Mac OS X developer. Keep in mind, however, that Brent - unlike the Scobleizer - doesn't have any insider info, so don't get your mouse cable tangled if next week proves his post to be way off the mark.

The topics have been remarkably lame, lately.

But if I could fix one thing it would be email confirmation of comments. Utterly bloody useless. I don't want to have to check an email account I use only for registration and stuff like this when I post a comment. I want to comment, then get on with my day. Often I have to check multiple times, as the response is not always quick.

I usually check a couple of minutes after posting. If the response is not there, I usually forget about it, until the end of the day. So even if I respond first or second, my response shows up way down the list.

Too many steps, too many things wrong with it, absolutely no reason for it.

sigh...replace who's with "whose"

It seems a summer away from college is doing me no good at all.

You are reading a free, online weblog who's objective is to report all relevant news on an extremely tight-lipped and unpredictable industry, let's ease up fellas. In a week you'll have more product and event photos, previews, reviews and news than you can shake a stick at.

Dear Crybaby Commentors,

Please stop spamming the comments with your irrelevant and useless opinions. If TUAW's coverage doesn't suit you, there are two options. 1. Start using the "tips" function to submit the stories you do think belong here. 2. Stop wasting your time, and ours, and go find or create a site that you do think is worthy. Whether you leave, or whether you stay and contribute, this site will be a better place.

Thank you,
Commentor annoyed by fellow lame commentors

PS. However, this particular post was a decent one.

I know for a fact that brushed metal is out and every application will now have the style of Garageband

Dear Scott,


TUAW has been kinda sucking for the better part of the last 3-4 weeks or so. Please make it stop sucking.



Thank you.
